Beverage container dispensing cap

Abstract

A beverage container dispensing cap assembly designed to replace the standard cap of a conventional beverage bottle. It includes a cap removably attached to the opened end of the beverage container and having a set of continuous interior threads that correspond to exterior threads of the beverage container, a first straw attached to the cap and terminating at a lower end spaced above the floor defined by the container, a second straw mounted on and positioned perpendicular to the cap top and extending upwardly therefrom, a vent assembly mounted in the cap having a closure element adapted to be moved between a first position to permit the flow of air into the bottle and a second position to prevent the flow of air into the container, and the cap top is capable of being moved into a first position such that the first straw is in communication with the second straw allowing liquid to flow from the bottle through the second straw to the first straw and alternatively into a second position forming a water tight seal such that liquid in the bottle cannot flow through the second straw to the first straw, wherein the cap has a sufficient diameter such that the interior threads correspond to the exterior threads of the standard sized circular collar to form a water tight seal between the cap assembly and the opened end of the bottle.

I claim: 
     
       1. A beverage container dispensing cap assembly for replacing a threaded cap of a beverage bottle, said assembly comprising: a cap removably attachable to a bottle of the type having an exterior threaded collar at an upper end thereof, said cap including a set of interior threads engagable with the bottle collar to form a watertight seal;   a venting aperture formed in said cap;   a dispensing aperture formed in said cap;   a cap top rotatably attached to the top of said cap;   a venting hole formed in said cap top, said venting hole being in alignment with said venting aperture when said cap top is rotated to either a first or a second position;   a dispensing hole formed in said cap top, said dispensing hole being in alignment with said dispensing aperture when said cap top is rotated to said first position and being misaligned and substantially sealed when said cap top is in said second position;   a first straw attachable to said cap top and being in communication with said dispensing hole when so attached; and   a second straw attachable to said cap, said second straw extending into said bottle and being in communication with said dispensing aperture when so attached.   
     
     
       2. The cap assembly of claim 1 further including a pin located adjacent a central location on the cap top, said pin passing through and attaching together the cap and cap top for rotational movement of the cap top about the pin relative to the cap. 
     
     
       3. The cap assembly of claim 2 wherein the venting aperture formed in said cap has an arcuate elongate shape radially disposed about the pin. 
     
     
       4. The cap assembly of claim 1 further including an upwardly depending first collar enclosing said dispensing hole and received within said first straw to communicate fluid therebetween, and a downwardly depending second collar enclosing said dispensing aperture and received within said second straw to communicate fluid therebetween.
